Lucien’s POV
We sat in the wardroom waiting for the doctor’s report and the doctor. I had never felt suspense like I did on that day. My heart ponded in my chest as I stared at Zane who paced back and forth the room in frustration.
“Where is the damn doctor?!” he growled angrily.
“I am here,” the doctor announced as he pushed open the door with a file in his arm. And behind him was two other doctors who looked like they had just seen a ghost. I know from experience that when doctors form a pack to deliver a news to someone, especially my family, it was never something pleasant.
“Prince Zane, Lady Brielle…”
“Let me cut you off there Doctor,” Brielle said with groans of pain as she sat up to look at them in the eyes. “I already know about your judicial crap, so deliver the bad news,”
I sighed heavily and relaxed my back on the chair to listen to what he had to say.
“Your scans and test result came in, and there was no forced entry in the vagina that we can use for a rape case, although the pink wolfsbane in your system is a drug that stimulates sexual hormones and creates hallucinations. It is illegal and the report have been sent to our mansion incase you are building a case.” He started and then took a pause to stare at the other doctors.
Impatiently i ordered, “Speak and stop wasting my time!”
“I am sorry, the child is dead. We would like to conduct an operation to remove…”
And suddenly everything went blank, I could see the doctor’s lips moving but I couldn’t make out a single word. My heart felt like it was been stabbed continuously as tears escaped my eyes.
I felt angry but the emotions I was feeling were not mine. I turned to Brielle who sat speechless, staring at the doctors as they spoke. I knew it was her heartbreak I felt, and I had no idea what to do to fix it.
Zane’s hand was across his face as he fell to his knees. And with pain, he asked
“When are you to carry out the surgery?”
“As…as soon as you give the g…go ahead,” The doctor stuttered as his hands shook in fear.
“Careful doc, those hands need to be steady for surgery,” I said as I stood up from my seat.
“We wouldn’t want you nipping a vein,” I whispered into his ear as I walk past him.
I never thought I could feel that way again, protective, furiously in love to the point of breaking my bones to satisfy her. I looked around and I knew there was just one thing that could ease my pain.
So I got into my car and took the long drive to satisfy my cravings.
Sitting in the bedroom where he did all those things to her, I realized something. That my body was shaking with excitement that I couldn’t contain.
“Come on ladies,” Rio chirped as he wrapped his hands around two of his slut that he brought into the bedroom. I watched them kiss and moan from the dark side of the room, with my brain thinking of the perfect way to cement that moment into his memory forever.
“Fuck me Alpha Rio,” the brunette moaned as he sat on him and rode his manhood like a horse.
“Al of you, get out,” I said softly from the corner, catching their attention. Immediately the girl jumped off him in fear as they finally noticed my presence.
“How did you get in here? Better question, how did you conceal your scent?” he asked as I looked at me with surprise on his face.
“Come on Rio, put on your trousers. I have seen enough of your balls,” I said to him as I tossed the trouser to him.
“And girls, please get out,” I said calmly with a smile as I sat down to watch what they do next.
“Girls, please leave before our dear Lucien do something hurtful to you. And you know I can’t let that happen,” Rio said to the girls, making them blush and causing their cheeks to turn red.
Immediately, the girls ran out with their clothes in their arms. I waited for him to put on his trousers before I got close to him.
“The child died,” I said to his face and waited for his next words because that would determine what I would do next.
“Oh, I am so sorry for your loss. Please send my condolences to the parents, it’s very sad,” he replied with a sad look. His face upside down like he was grieving and all it made me feel was pain and a fire in my stomach.
“You drugged her to rape her, and you knew she was living with me,” I muttered as I stared at him in the eyes. Furiously, I released my fist on his face causing blood to ooze out of his mouth as he bit down on his tongue.
“You maniac!” he exclaimed with a smile dancing on his lips.
“She bit down on her tongue, probably to kill your satisfaction. Now you know how she felt,” I said to him and then walked to the door to lock it.
“You can’t beat me, I am not in your level,”
“You are right, you are not,” I remarked as I put the key to the door in my pocket and pulled up the sleeve off my shirt.
“Unlike my brother who rages and runs head on to fight, I plan. I make moves like chess pieces in a board and the first thing I got a whiff of was the hatred some of your workers have for you,”
“You bribed them to poison me and you think it will work? My dear Lucien, I eat poison for breakfast,” he responded with a smirk on his face.
And then finally he noticed it, the blood coming out his mouth and tongue were not stopping. He looked at me with despair in his eyes.
“What did you do?”
“As I was saying, I don’t bring knife to a knife fight. I bring a chainsaw,” I growled as I pulled on him to the floor and began punching into his skull. Repeatedly, the blows made an echo in the mansion, loud enough to be heard in every room.
I stopped when I saw how distorted his face was, but I wasn’t satisfied yet. I pulled him to the bed as he whizzed for breath with his hands stretched out.
“I really wish I had more time to experiment on you, I wanted to see the heart that gave you the courage to go after what is mine,”
“How is this possible?” he managed to ask as he choked on his own blood.
“You have been drinking and eating silver, normal werewolves would be dead but because you are freak, you will survive the poison but not me,” I responded and turned him over to look him in the eyes.
“In the next one minute, this place would be flooded with your guard. So, I better get to it,” I sighed as I held his hand and broke every finger on it. He roared in pain as I held on to them with a smile.
“I will be back and trust me, next time, I will break more than just fingers and pretty face.” I said to him with a gentle pat on the head.
By the time his guard burst through the door, I had taken my exit out.
Brielle’s POVI stood by the window, my heart heavy with sorrow. The height below blurred through my tears as I looked down, eager to jump but afraid. Everything I had known, everything I had hoped for, was gone. My home, my father, even the child I had dreamed of was dead. There was nothing left for me, I felt. Seeing Lucien burst into the room shocked me, but it was the anger in his eyes that truly surprised me.I stood there frozen, my heart beating fast and my thoughts racing. I saw his furious stare pierce through me.I was so lost in my sorrow that when his voice cut through the silence, I was shocked and almost tripped. “Brielle, what are you doing? Get down from there!” he yelled, his voice echoing in the room.I didn’t respond. What could I say to him? He wouldn’t even understand. There was no way he would possibly understand the depth of my loss and my pain. If he even cared. I turned back and stared out the window, feeling the air on my face. Lucien’s presence behind me
Lucien’s POVSeeing the dead body lying there, my mind raced. I pulled out my phone I hard pocketed earlier and dialed for an ambulance.When the paramedics arrived, they quickly loaded the body onto a stretcher. I decided to follow them to the hospital, needing to get some answers.At the hospital, I waited anxiously while the doctors examined the body. Eventually, they came out to speak to the person who had found the body.I was met by one of the doctors, who immediately recognized me. “Are you the one who found the body, Alpha?” he asked.“Yes, yes. I found it just laying there in the middle of the road. Do you know who he is, Doctor?” I asked, trying to piece together the mystery as I stood to meet him.The doctor nodded gravely. ”He’s a member of the royal families. Came into town three weeks back and had been missing since.” He explained.His words sank in sadly. A royal family member dead and abandoned on the street? This was really bad especially how we were beginning to do b
Lucien’s POVI woke up to the sound of Zane’s heavy footsteps walking into my room. As I opened my eyes, his angry presence stood over me on the bed.Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I looked up to see his face formed with rage.“What the hell did you do?” he spat, his voice trembling with anger he could clearly barely contain.I frowned, genuinely confused. “What are you talking about?” I questioned, trying to sit up. “Alpha Rio is in the hospital. And I know you had something to do with it.”I sat up, guiltily feeling the accusation hit me like a punch to the stomach. “I didn’t do anything to Rio,” I denied, trying to keep my voice calm.“Don’t lie to me!” Zane shouted painfully. I stared at him, remaining silent, my blank expression only seeming to anger him more though.“Did you do it?” he demanded once again. “Do what?” I replied, knowing exactly what he was referring to, but I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of a straight answer.“Don’t play dumb, Lucien. I know you

Brielle’s POV“Do you know what a pink wolfsbane do to our kind?” he asked as he concocted a pink elixir in a bottle.I passed out after he choked the air out of me and I woke up in a bedroom with my hands tied to the bed.“Rio? What are you doing?” I looked around in fright because I already had an idea of what he was about to do.“You know, growing up I was seen as a menace. A mess that affects everything in his path but that’s not it,” the way he spoke and walked around like a psychopath had my heartbeat hard against my chest.He leaned over, sniffing my face with drools dripping out from his mouth, “I am not a psycho, just misunderstood. No one ever tries to understand me,”“Rio, whatever you think you are doing is wrong. Okay? Its all wrong and you know it,”“Wrong, right, good, bad, black, white. Those are all human’s way of thinking and we are not humans, we are creatures that surpasses the imagination.” He said as he looked me in the eyes.With a deep sigh, he pried open my mo
Brielle’s POV. I went to sit in my room, super annoyed. Why Rio had just tried to do that didn’t stick out to me, and I was annoyed. He had been acting so well lately, but it was when I had finally told him that he was a good person that he decided to act out? What was it with men? I shook my head, proud of myself for pushing him away, and I started putting together the money I had. I’d leave the clothes here. I came here with nothing but my clothes, and I’d leave that way. It wasn’t like anything I was being offered here, I wouldn’t be able get it by asking Zane or Lucien to do it for me. All the ease of mind that this place had offered me suddenly went up, and I was ready to burst into tears at this moment. I should have known that something was up when he was throwing this party for me. You don’t throw parties for just anybody. I wasn’t interested in him, so I would never encourage him to like me like that. There was a soft knock on my door, and I knew who it was. “Don’t com
Brielle’s POV. A little over a week had passed since I had got here, and I was starting to feel comfortable, too comfortable. Staying here no longer felt like a vacation, but I felt like I was actually at home, which wasn’t something nice if one thought about it deeply, but that’s not the point here. I came out to see pretty lights, tents and decorations going up, and I was pleasantly surprised, because who doesn’t love a nice party? Especially when you could smell nice things cooking, and you think of the enjoyment in store for you if you attended. I wasn’t informed of any parties, and since I wasn’t a native here, I was as confused as a newborn mouse. I heard Rio shouting something to someone, and waited for him to finish with what he was doing. Soon, he walked up to me. “You’re finally up. I thought we’d have to send in a doctor.” He pulled me into a one armed hug from the side. “Yeah.” I friend as we pulled away, touching my belly. “I was really tired.” “You need as mu
Brielle’s POV. “No, no. It’s fine. I just want to be up for a while, actually.” I said, chuckling, and Rio shook his head. “Why? Aren’t you tired? Or do you need something?” Before I could answer, he continued. “Maybe I’ve been a bad host, but I’d like for you to tell me whatever it is that you might need, and it will be provided.” Well, that was odd. If I didn’t know better, I’d say that he saw me as the alpha of a powerful kingdom, and was trying to suck up to me. “No! You, everything you’ve done has been wonderful, believe me. I just like to stay up late sometimes.” He nodded. “So do I. Actually I stay up most nights, because sleep doesn’t come easy to me, so…” “I think I get it.” I said, walking in front of him, and the guards followed us closely. He lingered at the door of my assigned room before I chuckled slightly. “You can come in, we were having a conversation before I started coming here anyway.” I sighed as I settled down onto the bed, looking up. Who
Chapter Twenty.Brielle’s POV. I walked through the pack’s territory with a guard trailing a few steps behind me. For my security, Rio had told me, and I was actually grateful for that. After that terrifying attack, I didn’t want to be out on my own in a space I didn’t know, so I was hoping that the guard would help me. The space was big and beautiful, with tall trees swaying gently in the breeze and flowers in full bloom, and their pretty colours was a feast for the eyes. The pack members moved about with purpose, and some even waved at me, and I wondered just how nice these people could be with how good they were treating me when they didn’t even know me or anything. I wondered when I’d be cleared to go home too. What would Lucien and Zane think of my disappearance? Would they be worried? Angry? A pang of guilt hit me as I realised that I had thought about Lucien before Zane, but I quickly pushed it aside. I needed to focus on healing, both physically and emotionally and being
